^ kiss ass!

:D haha just kidding! thank you though! i can relate about what you said about trying to do it in one sitting... i have so many pieces i've done that i REALLY like... but it's only about half finished and probably will be forever. it's a pain in the ass, but so is life. but yeah man, you're definitely housing some talent and you can see minor improvements from piece to piece. the coolest thing throughout the evolution of your own artwork (IMO) is picking up on the little things that make something ordinary look extraordinary. i kind of pick up one trick at a time, then try to fuse the many i've learned over time into one drawing... and by the end of the drawing... it either looks too busy, or it's got just the right mix, the key i think is to figure out the comfortable medium where you're balancing everything just right and it gives you more to think about than it does to look at. with my stuff anyways.

keep posting your stuff though man! and you should try other styles too just to broaden your range, you'll find it will help the learning process even more. branch out and be daring. your stuff's keen as it is, but throw some abnormalities in it sometimes just to give yourself something to grow on outside your normal style. even if it's just to practice. that's what i do often and sometimes things work sometimes they don't... but you can bet you'll have more ideas running through the brain.

I definitely know what you're saying. I'm always slowly inserting new techniques and styles that I intertwine from piece to piece. Sometimes I fall into ruts where I feel like I'm accomplishing nothing, I guess it's similar to some sort of writer's block heh. I'll definitely continue to experiment, I just feel for me that it's a very slow process of adding changes, probably due to my lack of experience so far. I have plenty of pages filled with practice-shapes haha. Thanks a lot for the inspiration and the tips, it's appreciated greatly dude.

Here's another one - did it last night out of boredom and not being able to sleep.

:) Thanks, after maybe 3 more weeks or so of practice I'll start looking into various different ways of getting them on shirts. I don't feel QUITE ready.

The object of photography is not to see how closely you can replicate reality. That's beyond over-simplification.
